ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An inexpensive and efficient shear and clamp type surgical instru- ment which is comfortable to use and eliminates excessive pressure at the jaws of the instrument is produced by incorporating a ratchet lock section on each arm, heel and shoulder stops associated with the ratchet lock sections and open finger gripping loops having a return curve portion between the normal finger gripping position and the pivot axis of the instrument's arms. The return curve portion in the finger gripping loops of the instrument prevents the operator's fingers from sliding into the open portion of the fingerloops, thereby eliminating pinching the operator's fingers. The heel and shoulder stops assure that the jaws of the surgical instrument cannot have more force applied thereto than the instrument is designed to handle. As a result, these features of the surgical instrument of this invention cooperate to provide an inexpensive instrument having the rigidity and feel of more expensive surgical instruments.
